If you're a praying person, please pray for my country. The trajectory and strength looks horrific.
What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible.

My retired mother volunteers at a library and today she was excited to share that someone returned two books: Mine and another about Justice Sotomayor. These are the things that make my little nerd heart smile.

Finished this yesterday and WOW!!! These characters are so well developed, and the plot structure works so well. From beginning to end, this book was satisfying, complex, and tender. It's definitely in my top 3 books for the year.

Trying to follow writing trends is usually a waste of time. By the time you can see them, they're over. Instead, just write what you love. Write it as well as you can, and wait. Don't be afraid to be different. One day, maybe, you'll be the trend.

I was able to complete one more book before my time is consumed with teaching prep, grading, and writing. This book detailed heavy and painful experiences, yet, the women's wit and candor made me laugh loud. The author centered Southern Black women and their lives.

Happy Jamaican Independence!
On August 6, 1962, Jamaica officially became independent from British rule. My parents still recount how they and other children dressed in all white and paraded through their town to mark the occasion.

Ever finish a book and wish you could time traveling a week in the past, so that you could begin reading it again? As a Jamaican woman who has watched my mother and grandmother prepare black cake, this story, like the dessert is rich, textured and complex. Outstanding!
